When Cap kicked up his shield in the elevator I squeeled like a teenage girl.

I so hope neither movie budges so we get two years of this. Why isn't Anthony Mackie a star already?

Finally got to see The Winter Soldier today and it's fantastic! Great action, beautiful score and an intriguing story that sets the tone for a different sort of comic book movie. At times it didn't feel like a regular Marvel movie, if felt like a sort of spy thriller especially the opening action sequence which reminded me of a Tom Clancy film. Everyone is on form on the acting front from Evans, Mackie Johansson to Jackson. Redford brings some class to the movie and it's really nice to see the legend back on the big screen, I've missed him. The Winter Soldier himself is one bad ass mofo who's more than a worthy challenge for Captain to battle. Once again Marvel have set the bar high for other studios to follow, I don't envy Fox and Sony.

I give Captain America: The Winter Soldier Four and a half shots of whiskey from the Gem Saloon. It's certainly in the discussion for one of Marvel's best movies to date.

Look out for plenty of easter eggs throughout the movie. See if you can notice Sam Jackson's Pulp Fiction reference. Oh and BTW there is two scenes once the movie finishes, one right after the first set of credits and one right at the end of the credits.

Thank you Al! I cannot wait to see it. I watched today again the first one, and I was shocked to realize that the blond army soldier woman that kisses the living daylights out of him is none other than Natalie Dormer!!!

 Yup Nattie sure gets around in the movies, she has a steamy shower with Thor in Rush

I loved it! I don't know if it was the 77 deg weather outside after a long winter or if it was really the movie! :P Nah who am I kidding?! It was the movie.

Found the plot very well integrated with today's issues regarding the whole taking steps to punish before the crime approach (see NSA scandal)! I liked the article by the way Lady Black. Thank you.

I have to say that Bartoc guy is totally a pro in kickboxing. That's no actor. Moves like a pro. I want to know who he is.

Yeah it's Georges St. Pierre former UFC Welterweight champion. That fight was cool, all of the fights in TWS were awesome.

This movie was shit. I can understand if you like the other Marvel movies you like this one, but don't anyone be fooled (like me) by Al's comment:

This was the typical run-of-the-mill Marvel cliche bullshit. Some nifty fight-scenes, but the special effects were below average.

I am sorry you feel that way Japie. It's still one of my favourite movies of the year.
